3D chamfer question

[Ride]

I am trying to model a dining chair, where the seat rail meets the back leg/seat back. How do I chamfer the joint to show properly? In the picture below only the rail edges are chamfered, but I want this to continue on the back leg/seat back as well. Is this possible? I though of making the leg and rail in one object, and then adding a 0.1mm surface to the face of the rail to show the change in grain direction. Is there a better way?

 

Thanks

Add the rail + leg to make one object like you say, apply the chamfer, then split the two objects again.

Of course. So obvious. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Thank you.
